Lythan ..
do not fear, you are not alone. I made some for the 1st time some weeks ago, was trying to surprise someone on here with a swap by adding some fimo type bits and bobs, but I burnt the lot! Was so disappointed as my daughters helped me make the first batch. Sad thing is, I was a cook by trade and it was such a silly mistake not to have read instructions correctly. I made a second lot, and happy to say I did not burn.
Love the goth card idea Carole.

Hi Lythan,
you can buy a oven temperture clock, they can be a bit pricy , but you can find them cheaper at a market or kitchen reject shop. I always bake mine on a plate or a new straight baking tray ( they warp after a while), i bake my stuff for at least 20 mins.

Be very careful if you burn it as it does release fumes - and can give you sore throat - always keep a window open when baking.
I use gas mark 1/2 - 1 but it depends on the oven and always bake on the middle shelf.

lythan it does depend on your oven -
if you find it breaks just alittle too easy ( it is delicate anyway) then try gas mark 1 but i wouldnt do gas mark 2 - i think that would be too high.
Good luck - and dont forget to let them cool and try not to have an intake of breath when you open the oven door !!! as it does release some fumes - even if its not burnt !!!

I actually use a toaster style oven which is purely dedicated to my fimo, but I work witrh it loads so it was a worthwhile investment! Plus it means I can cook in the utility room which backs into the garden...doors open and no fumes in house!!

mine always warp after a few months !
but then i can be baking all day for 3 days at a time - so i dont suppose its too bad .
have just bought a really thick one - see how long this one lasts !! i do like using old plates though - as i can fiddle just watching telly !!

The one and only tray I have that has warped a bit and only a bit...is about 30 years old so can't complain!!!! I have one tray in particular, its non stick and none of the coating has even chipped after many years of use..thats my fave..dunno where it came from though!!

I wanted to bring this topic back up to date after reading it because I bake my fimo models on a flat glass plate (well its really a place mat made out of glass). I find this works great but to be honest I've never tried it with baking trays.......does it really work better with the trays?

Also, I use a toaster oven to do mine in as well but I struggle with what temperate to put it on.
